Module 1 - Pencil Drawing
Weeks - 1, 2 and 3
This module gives you some interesting projects that will serve as a good foundation for the rest of the course. We start with a quick introduction to working with pencils and the basic techniques of drawing and shading. We then go on to study various subjects including perspective, enlarging, figures and faces. By the end of the first 3 weeks you will be looking at things in a new way – the way an artist would!
Module 2 - Oil Pastels
Weeks - 4 and 5
A bright, colourful, exciting module that will have you creating superb results. During your 2 weeks with oil pastels you will learn how to use this vibrantly coloured medium through interesting step by step projects. Building on the drawing techniques learnt in the previous module, you will soon know how to use colour and introduce depth into your pictures.
Module 3 - Watercolour
Weeks - 6, 7 and 8
A very popular medium and easy to use once you know how. By the end of this module you will have learnt how to prepare your paper, mix colours, and use brush techniques with this semi-transparent medium. In doing so, you will have created at least 2 beautiful paintings to be proud of!
Module 4 - Acrylics
Weeks - 9, 10, 11 and 12
A versatile, easy medium to use, making it extremely suitable for new artists. The gradual progressive tuition throughout the course will have allowed your skill levels to increase substantially by this stage. You will now be able to comfortably complete paintings during this module, and should find the experience of painting with acrylics both enjoyable and achievable.
Mounting and Presenting
Week 13
This week we have a relaxed class, full of fun, as you sort through your work, alongside your fellow classmates, deciding which pictures to display. Then using our simple yet effective tips you will be guided through the process of putting a temporary mount on your work for a perfect presentation. Get ready to wow the audience at your very own exhibition the following week!
Exhibition
Week 14
This is something extra no other art classes offer – your very own exhibition. It is a great learning experience and a very special day. Over these last few weeks you and your new friends have created your very own portfolios each containing several pieces of original artwork, and your favourite pieces are now mounted, ready for exhibiting.
Your family and friends are all invited to attend and join in the party. What better way to celebrate everything you have achieved over the past three and a half months!
